How does the Hollywood portrayal of the perfect woman affect young women?

Youth is gullible because they haven't lived long enough to wise up to the fact that if they are independent and solid on their feet they don't buy into the garbage put out in cheap rags, Hollywood gossip programs or magazines. What is in today is out tomorrow! The perfect woman was egged on by Playboy and magazines of this type. Men drooled over them, but didn't realize these beautiful women (although many had great figures) had plastic surgery, breast enlargements, tummy tucks, their bodies sprayed with powder to make them look flawless. This was the downfall of how SOME women felt and they knew they couldn't keep up with the unreality of it all. Real women can't possibly look like the calendar girl or a Playboy bunny because she doesn't have time. Then the movies started with Jean Harlow in the 20's (platinum blond) and so many women dyed their hair this color it looked like a sea of bobbing platinum blond heads. Along came Marilyn Monroe and some women also tried to copy her. Things began to change when people actually stood up and took notice to good acting skills and women that weren't one of the #10 beautiful people such as Bette Davis, Cathy Bates, etc., were reigned in high regard rather than how beautiful they were. Actually Bette Davis was almost not hired on as an actress because she was directly told by the head of one of the Studios she was too plain looking! Cathy Bates was told she was too fat! So what do these guys know! Nada! As they say, 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.'

When stereotypes about what women can and cannot do exist, and are acted upon, a woman's right to equality is facetious at best. If woman are not given equal opportunity there is no equality.
What are the weaknesses of pygmalion?
As in the mythical figure Pygmalion? If so his weakness was that in his quest for perfection (aka the woman he sculpted, who was so perfect and beautiful he fell in love with her) he overlooked inner beauty, and instead only looked at outer beauty. When he pleaded to the gods to bring his sculpture to life (and they granted it to him) the woman turned out to not be perfect - which created dissatisfaction. Therefore Pygmalions shallow view of perfection in itself was flawed - deeming beauty as what constitutes perfection.

How does a woman's relationship with her mother affect her relationships with other women?
A woman's mother is generally the first, and largest female figure in their life. If there is a bad relationship between the two then a woman may think badly about women more. Think about it, if you got sick every time you ate a certain food, for example: tuna, then you would probably be less likely to want to try other foods that were tuna based. The same goes for people. If there's a bad relationship towards a woman's mother, then the woman may feel more hatred towards other females. The same goes for the opposite. If the woman had a wonderful relationship with her mother, then she may be more likely to bond and be friendly with other woman.
